The "Run Tests on qemu" section of run_wrapper.rst had a few issues left
over from the last big documentation refactor[1]:
- It referenced a non_uml.rst page, which was integrated into the other
pages (including run_wrapper.rst).
- It skimmed over the use of --arch= and --cross_compile= in favour of
using a custom --qemu_config. Since most users will want to use the
former, let's give examples.
Remove the reference to the non-existant page, and add a couple of
examples to encourage the use of --arch= and --cross_compile=.
With this change, there should be no more broken references in the KUnit
documentation (i.e., the one mentioned in [2] is gone).

Thanks. The rest of this document is using "we" rather than "you", so I used "we'll" for consistency. If "you" is preferred generally, it'd be best to change it throughout the document (probably in a separate patch). Cheers, -- David

Nobody has ever tried to articulate a wider policy on first or second-person usage for kernel docs, so far as I know, and I think that's just fine. We have far bigger things to worry about before we get concerned about consistency at that level. Thanks, jon
